Living hominoids are distinguished by upright torsos and versatile locomotion. It is
hypothesized that these features evolved for feeding on fruit from terminal branches in …

Abstract The aridification of Central Asia since the Eocene has widespread evidence, but
climate-controlled environmental reorganizations during the Oligocene remain ambiguous …

Abstract The Busidima Formation in the Afar region, Ethiopia, spans the Quaternary and
records the cultural evolution of the genus Homo. Yet, the Middle Pleistocene to Holocene …

The largest mass extinction in the history of life was during the Late Permian, ca 252 Ma.
New evidence from stable isotopic composition and Bk metrics of paleosols from the Late …

Abstract The Eocene Las Flores and Koluel-Kaike formations in southern Patagonia (~ 48°
S, Golfo San Jorge Basin, Argentina) are pedogenically modified fluvial and fluvio-eolian …

Paleosols (fossil soils) are valuable records of terrestrial climate and environments, and
paleosol-based proxies are commonly used to reconstruct past climates and ecosystems …

The onset, characteristics, and drivers of paleo‐monsoon conditions in East Asia remain a
topic of heated debate. Records from the Eocene suggest pronounced rainfall seasonality …

We present novel explainable deep learning techniques for reconstructing South Asian
palaeomonsoon rainfall over the last 500 years, leveraging long instrumental precipitation …

The chemical compositions of paleosols are frequently used to reconstruct paleoclimatic and
paleoenvironmental conditions using proxy relationships derived from modern soils …

The capacity of terrestrial ecosystems to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the
atmosphere is expected to be altered by climate change and CO2 fertilization, but this …
